Udinese secured a crucial away win, beating Parma 2-1 to end their six-game winless streak. Nicolò Zaniolo's inspired goal and Keinan Davis's penalty sparked the victory, lifting Udinese out of the drop zone.
Parma, who were reduced to 10 men, were pushed towards the danger zone despite their best efforts. The home side's misery was compounded by injuries to key players, including Zion Suzuki and Matija Frigan, while new signing Vicente Guaita watched from the bench. Udinese's win puts pressure on Parma, who now face a tough battle to stay up.

Bertola's pass had also created a chance for Piotrowski, who fired off target. The young midfielder was involved in the action, getting back to block Patrick Cutrone's counter-attack, which had been set up by Mateo Pellegrino's clever back-heel flick.
Nicolò Zaniolo had an early chance, firing over from distance, but he soon made amends. He broke the deadlock with a stunning goal, showcasing his skill as he controlled a long Nicolò Bertola ball and spun round to fire into the empty net.
Bertola's precision pass had also created chances for Udinese, sending Piotrowski through, though he missed the target. Bertola then made a crucial block on Patrick Cutrone's counter-attack, which had been cleverly set up by Mateo Pellegrino's back-heel flick, keeping Udinese's lead intact.
Keinan Davis's promising counter-attack was ruined by an overly-heavy touch, while Arthur Atta and Oumar Solet also had chances, with Atta scuffing a finish wide and Solet's header being palmed over.
Parma made a double change at halftime, introducing Jacob Ondrejka, who had been sidelined due to injury. Ondrejka quickly made his presence felt, sprinting into the box, but his finish was scuffed. Davis also had a chance, but his angled drive was smothered at the near post after a great turn from Mariano Troilo.
Davis got away from Troilo again and was fouled, earning a penalty and a red card for Parma after a VAR review. Davis converted the spot-kick himself, blasting it into the roof of the net.

Estevez's effort was off target, failing to capitalize on Ondrejka's flick-on cross. In stoppages, Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic couldn't contain his frustration, earning a red card for dissent.
